    Hot tub stopped heating at 96

    Hello. A few months ago we bought a very used hot tub. It’s been working decent up until last night. The temp says 96 and it won’t get any higher than that. I turned the power off and then restarted but I don’t think that did anything. I have zero clue what happened. Just the day before...

    Intex SWG troubles

    We've had an intex SWG with great results for the past 3 years or so. This year ours wasn't working and I ordered a new one off amazon. So far it doesn't seem to be working and I'm not sure if it's this particular SWG or something diff with the new ones they are making. I ran it yesterday for 10...

    Cloudy Water

    Hi All! We just opened our pool a little over a week ago. I've been keeping up with the chemicals and adding Bleach all the time to keep it at shock levels. After doing this the pool went from dark green to blue but it is still very cloudy. I'm nervous that my filter isn't keeping up. I'm...

    Intex SWG keeps tripping off

    We've been having a lot of trouble with our Intex SWG this season. Seems every time I go out there it's off and showing the 88 code on the front and then I have to reset it. We've been getting a lot of rain this season...is this the reason? It's plugged into an outlet along with the pump and...

    Cloudy water...can't get it clear!

Here are my test results as of just a few min ago FC 3 CC .5 TC 3.5 PH 7.5 TA 70 CYA 30 (it was 35 the...

    Longer straps for solar reel

    We are in the process of installing a solar reel for our cover. I bought it from National Pool Wholesalers. We are installing it up on our deck rail which is about 4 feet above our pool. The straps that came with the reel to connect the cover to it aren't long enough. Does anyone know where...

    Best way to use solar reel for our 24' round

    Hi there! We have a 24' round pool with a partial deck (we add more to it each year). This year we need to purchase a new solar cover and I really would like to find a way to use a reel with it. I don't really like the ones that go across the center of the pool and with the deck and fence we...

    Does anyone know who makes the Pool Rover Junior?

    We bought one last year around this time and I can't find any of my paperwork. A rodent ate our filter bag over the winter and I'm trying to find a phone number I can call to get warranty info. I'm hoping that maybe they will replace the bag since they are $50. If they won't does anyone know...

    How much salt do I need for my Intex SWG?

    I ordered this and it should be here next week. While we are waiting we wanted to put the salt in the pool and make sure we had it all set. I can't find a recommended amount of salt for this generator. Does anyone know? We have a 24ft round pool. About 13,500 gallons. Once I know how much...

    Help! Crack in outlet fitting...

    So we filled up our pool this week, hooked everything up and when we turned the pump on noticed water coming from the fitting on the outlet to the pool. I've taken a pic. I'm wondering how the best way is to fix this. Do we have to re-drain the pool and replace the fitting or is there a way...

    CC at 0 but I still have an algea problem?!

    I just did a test and being that I can barely see the bottom of the pool again I expected to have a high CC level. My cc however is at 0? My FC was at 2 so I upped it and now it's reading 18. I will go back out and check it again in a half hour. I've had the hardest time keeping the pool...

    Automatically putting chlorine in the pool?

    I'm not sure this is the proper place for this. I'm terrible at remembering to dump chlorine in the pool on a regular basis. Especially when it's not been the best summer for swimming. I've been fighting keeping it clean all summer and I know it's my own fault for not going out and dumping...

    We have a bad algea outbreak!

    I'm soooo embarassed to admit this but have algea. Our pool was awesome and the weather was nice, we used it for like a week and then it got cold and we got busy. I sadly neglected my pool for far too long. We went out today to check on it and it was solid green and smelly. I dumped a big...

    Can anyone help me with the math please??

    So I can go to walmart and get 174 oz of 6% bleach for $2.36 or I can go to a place that just started selling liquid chlorine for $4.05/gal of 12%. I never was very good at math and my dh is unavailable today. So can anyone tell me which is the better bargain? I'm getting ready to head out...

    Finally opening pool! Would love some input on my results.

    Hello. I'm believing that the weather is going to get warmer here in Northern NY someday so we opened our pool this weekend. It's a slow process. We don't use a cover in the winter so the pool was a nice dark shade of green. We've been adding bleach like crazy and it's now a milky aqua...

    First post... ??? about TA and PH

    Hello, I just found this forum. I am a member of the other one and didn't know until today that it wasn't doing well. I couldn't figure out why no one was hardly responding to my posts. Anyway we opened our pool last week even though it's still really cold out. Our goal is to have it clean...
